CHET FAKER 1998 FT. BANKS

As a blog which focuses exclusively emerging bands, it's not usually within our remit to post about a track from, not one, but two relatively established artists - we'll make an exception for a hookup this special though: Chet Faker and BANKS. It's been a while since we've heard from LA dark-pop mistress Jillian Banks, but damn it's worth the wait, as her pulsing vocal slots like a jigsaw piece you didn't even know was missing from Chet's swoonsome indie hit, '1998'. It's not a huge volte face on the original, but her dusky presence, coagulating with Chet's silky croon and swaying beats makes it a truly sublime listen. - DC
